Size, specs & wrist fit compared

Which one fits you
On wrists narrower than about 46mm, the Garmin Vivoactive 5 is the safer pick — it stays proportionate down to roughly 44mm, where the Amazfit Cheetah Square starts to hang over the edge. Above 46mm both sit cleanly, and the Amazfit Cheetah Square gives you more presence.
The Garmin Vivoactive 5 wears larger than the Amazfit Cheetah Square (42.2mm vs 38.7mm case), giving it more wrist presence — and needing a wider wrist to sit cleanly.
The Amazfit Cheetah Square is the slimmer of the two (9.9mm vs 11.1mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
The Amazfit Cheetah Square is thinner than 74% of the 39mm watches we track and the Garmin Vivoactive 5 than 82% of the 42mm ones — so both wear flatter than their widths suggest.
The Garmin Vivoactive 5 is 3.5mm wider, 1.8mm shorter, 1.2mm thicker and 1g lighter than the Amazfit Cheetah Square.
